Upgrade to version 4.2.3 Suite PL2

[rustybucket]

I am trying to upgrade from 4.2.2 suite to 4.2.3 Suite PL2.

I am getting the infamous 5313 error. I have change php to 5.4 and 5.6 in cpanel and it makes no difference. I have checked with both vb_test.php and a phpinfo.php script and it shows php 5.6.29 running, but still no looks.

The site is down, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Allen

I've never heard of a 5313 error...please provide more details on exactly what's happening and when.

When I try to run /install/upgrade.php, I get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/public_html/vbbs/includes/functions.php on line 5313

First, check your php version really is 5.6 (just because it says so in phpinfo doesn't mean it actually is - rename the install folder to install2 for a moment and check the admincp - it will tell you what version the forum is seeing),

If it is, rename the install folder back to /install, and then download a fresh copy of the files from the members area. Upload these to the server, taking care to overwrite what's already there. Then run the upgrade script again.

I did that, and it did say 5.6.29. I just redownloaded the files and uploaded them right before I posted. It has me stumped.

Anyone with any further ideas?

What is line 5313 in /includes/functions.php? What are the ten lines above and below it?

[rustybucket]

function ($matches) in the following snipit is 5313.

function urlencode_uni($str)
{
//not sure that this function is ever called.
return preg_replace_callback(
'`([\s/\\\?:@=+$,<>\%"\'\.\r\n\t\x00-\x1f\x7f]|(?(?<!&)#|#(?![0-9]+)|&(?!#[0-9]+|(?<!&#\d|&#\d{2}|&#\d{3}|&#\d{4}|&#\d{5})`',
function ($matches)
{
return urlencode($matches[1]);
},
$str
);
}

BTW, for now I reverted back to 5.2.2

That is the correct code. I can't replicate the issue with PHP 5.6.25. Sounds like a PHP compatibility issue, though. You can try vBulletin 4.2.4 in a test folder on your site to see if you get the same problem.

OK, the next day after uploading the 4.2.2 files for vbulletin, I uploaded the 4.2.3 PL2 files changed PHP to 5.6 and the upgrade went fine. Not sure what was going on that it thought I had an older version of php on it.

However I still have the original problem that caused me to attempt the upgrade. For some reason about a month ago when some one makes a new post it doesn't show in the new posts or forum index until you refresh the browser once or twice.
